Shumway Tree Son of Almond Shumway and ?. Born: 1849 Died: 1918 Married: Altha Jane Watkins Children, eleven including Olive Myrtle, Gerta, Ray.... NOTE (from H. C. Wilson in 1952): [Forebear] Almond Shumway was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, June 18, 1759, the son of Joseph and Maria Shumway. When Joseph migrated to Michigan and where from, I do not know. But he was fifth in descent from Peter Shumway, also a refugee French Huguenot who came to Boston about 1660 and later joined the Huguenot colony at Oxford, Mass. He had one son known as Peter the Soldier for his exploits in the Indian wars. Peter the Soldier had seven sons, and all the Shumways in America are descended from these seven sons, there being seven tribes of Shumway in the Shumway genealogy, a copy of which I have seen in the Geneological Library at Boston. Your mother is descended from Jeremiah, who as I remember it was the second son of Peter the Soldier. The original spelling of the name was Chamois. But in early New England they spelled a name the way it sounded and after some variations it was finally worked down to Shumway. |
